Chapter 1025 Ingenious Art
Then, Sierra stood up and said, "Let's go to the living room. You shouldn't keep your charming Mr. Jordan waiting."
Clarissa knew that Sierra hadn't completely let go of her prejudice against Anderson, so she deliberately teased her.
However, she did not care. After all, it took time to see through a person.
Since Sierra didn't know Anderson long enough, it was normal for her to be worried.
Even so, as time went by, Sierra would eventually understand him.
With this thought in mind, Clarissa stood up and nodded with a smile.
Then, the two of them went to the living room together.
In the living room, Anderson was playing games with Anne and Marf.
Wherever there were children, the atmosphere would be lively.
Feeling awkward, Clarissa walked to them. On the other hand, Anderson raised his head calmly and looked at her. "Are you done?"
Clarissa nodded.
After that, Sierra smiled. "Are you guys hungry? If you're, I'll ask the kitchen to prepare the dishes now, and we can have our dinner first without Robert."
To that, Clarissa shook her head, and Anderson responded, "Don't worry, we can wait for Mr. Lane to come back. In the meantime, can I take Carissa for a walk? The scenery here is unique."
Sierra nodded.
"Of course, no problem. Do you want me to show you and Carissa around?"
"It's okay. We can roam by ourselves. Instead, I need your help to take care of the kids."
When Sierra heard that, her gaze fell on the two children.
Although she had a grudge against the fact that Anne was not Clarissa's biological daughter, it was only between her and Anderson.
She never disliked Anne. After all, the relationship between Anne and Clarissa was better than a real mother-daughter relationship.
In fact, she was only worried that Clarissa would follow her old path because Gianni had deceived her for a long time.
Therefore, when she looked at Anne this time, she was actually fond of Anne.
Hence, she happily agreed, "Of course, no problem."
As she spoke, she approached two children with a smile. "I heard there is a playground in your villa. I have one too. Do you want to go and have some fun there?"
Children liked to play regardless of their age.
So, as soon as Anne and Marf heard of the playground, they immediately clapped their hands and cheered.
"Yay! We want to play!"
With that, Sierra brought them to the playground.
After they left, Anderson and Clarissa went out together.
Sierra's castle was huge. In fact, it was larger than Jara's castle in Blink City.
Besides, there were beautiful sceneries everywhere.
Before coming here, Clarissa was worried about Sierra's life, but now, looking at this beautiful castle, she was relieved.
In her heart, she thought that Robert treated Sierra the best.
Although she didn't know how they got to know each other, she could tell that Robert was sincere toward Sierra.
Otherwise, at that time, when Sierra didn't trust anyone around her, she wouldn't have trusted him.
Clarissa and Anderson ambled down the marble stone steps. As the castle was fully air-conditioned, they didn't feel hot.
In addition, there were towering trees everywhere that formed into a cooling shade.
After strolling for a while, Clarissa broke the silence. "Mom was straightforward, but she doesn't know us well yet, so don't take it to your heart."
Hearing that, Anderson turned to look at her with a faint smile.
"But what she said is the truth, isn't it?"
Clarissa was stunned.
"In the past few years, I did not explain Anne's background to you. Don't you have any doubts?" Anderson questioned.
Clarissa pursed her lips for a while before responding, "Yes."
The moment he heard her answer, he halted.
At that moment, they happened to stand at a cooling corner where the sunlight could not enter. An air conditioner was also hidden under the tree near them, so it was very refreshing.
While staring deeply at Clarissa, he asked, "Why don't you ever ask me then?"
Clarissa smiled.
"Ask what? If you want to tell me, you will. If you don't want to, what's the use even if I ask?"
After she finished, she casually plucked a leaf and played with it.
When Anderson heard what she said, his face darkened.
"Clarissa, I have promised you that one day, when time is right, I will tell you the truth."
"Yes, I remember."
After saying that, Clarissa raised her head and smiled at him.
At that moment, the sun shone through the gaps between the branches, and her eyes glimmered.
"So, I never ask because I believe that no matter what the truth is, and no matter if there was someone else in your heart, you are now mine, and we will forever be together."
Hearing that, Anderson stared into her eyes.
When she uttered those words, she was so serious and calm, which made his heart flutter.
Without warning, he pulled her into his arms.
At the same time, his chest felt uncomfortable, as if something was blocked inside.
Nevertheless, he whispered, "I love you, Clarissa. No matter what happens, remember, my love for you is real."
While leaning against his chest, Clarissa listened to his mumbles. For some reason, she felt uneasy.
At once, she raised her head and looked at him.
"Anderson, is there something wrong? Why do I feel..."
"No."
Holding her in his arms, Anderson gently stroke her hair.
Then, he sighed softly, "I'm sorry, Clarissa. When the time is right, I will tell you everything. I promise."
For a long time, both of them stood there quietly.
Actually, it was impossible for Clarissa not to be curious about Anderson's past.
After all, he was the man she loved deeply. Naturally, she wanted to know everything about him.
Nevertheless, she also knew that sometimes, no matter how close they were, she had to respect his privacy.
Because allowing him to keep his privacy was not only a form of respect for their relationship but also a form of respect for him.
As for the past, it shall remain as a past.
If he wanted to tell her in the future, she would be happy to listen.
However, if he refused to, she wouldn't force him.
After all, just like what she told Sierra, everyone in this world would definitely have a past.
For a while, they stood there, and Anderson did not continue this topic. Instead, he held her hand and began to stroll around the castle with her.
This castle was well constructed, regardless of its interior or exterior.
Even though he was a well-informed man, he was in awe. He thought this was simply an ingenious art.
